In Venezuela, an odor has been characteristic of all the homes through which one passes at noon when the time of lunch approaches and in all those places the smell that is perceived is identical. It is the same aroma that enters the turbinates inside our nostrils, disturbing the pituitary membrane, driving all the olfactory receptors that compose it, sending them as an explosion towards the olfactory memories of the brain, to conclude:
The crisis that exists in Venezuela and what has led to the great shortage of food and other goods have forced people to change their lifestyle, especially in terms of their diet, to the daily diet. Today, the Venezuelan's diet is far from that nutritious and balanced diet, which is spoken of in all the most basic nutrition books that can exist in the world.
he Venezuelan was used for example at breakfast, to consume arepa, fried egg, butter, ham, white cheese or yellow cheese and coffee with milk or black coffee. Today all those items or components of such important food disappeared from the table. Today as a joke and you can eat an arepa with water. And with the shortage of annealed bread flour, the Venezuelan was forced to return to almost forgotten practices, such as parboiling and grinding, corn piled or trite. Customs that were almost extinct, because they were still only kept in the rural sites specifically in the fields, because in the cities this practice was not common. The common, practical and easy in the city and the towns, was to uncover a package of precooked bread flour and immediately prepare a couple of arepas a minute. Today, no, the Venezuelan has returned to these old practices, but like other food items, the pile corn has had a brutal increase, costing just 100 bolivars per kilo, today to this date, July 19, 2018, the kilo of corn is 500 and 600 bolivars, if you cancel with transfer and if you cancel in cash you find between 200 and 250 bolivars the Kilo and not to mention eggs, cheese, butter and milk for coffee Milky. In other words, the Venezuelan's breakfast disappeared.
The Venezuelan's lunch was composed in most middle-class homes by rice or spaghetti, chicken, meat, pork or fish, accompanied by any vegetable for the salad. Today as I said the Venezuelan is consuming sardine which also suffered a tremendous increase because in 2015 the kilo of sardines rolled the 100 bolivars to this date, that same kilo of sardines is hovering around 7,000 and 8,000 bolivars.
Likewise, it was the same as at breakfast eating an arepa, a pancake or a turron made with wheat flour. But equally the cost of wheat flour suffered another beastly increase, which made it almost impossible to acquire so the Venezuelan no longer dines. Then we find that at lunchtime, the main meal, the most important of a person, what the Venezuelan is eating as the only protein, is sardine is the only protein accessible in this crisis, which will eventually be able to accompany rice, which is the only cereal that despite the price is still acquiring, so that it does not end up disappearing from its diet accompanied with arepa of piled corn and yucca. that is the greatest achievement of this Robolution
If Venezuelans could count in their diet, with rice, pasta and flour, the precarious food situation that lives would be another, but unfortunately none of that is within reach. At this moment, we are living in two Venezuela, the Venezuela of the people who receive a minimum salary and Bachaquean the products to obtain another income; and the Venezuela of the people who receive remittances from their relatives abroad, that makes the difference.
